TO GIVE WAY. IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS . THE IMAGES ARE ASTOUNDING. ALL AROUND THE STATE THE POUNDING RAIN HAS TAKEN A TOLL. IT HAS. INCLUDING THE MOST DRAMATIC IN NORTH BALTIMORE. A ROAD COLLAPSED JUST IF YOU BLOCKS FROM JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY. THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW. 26TH STREET REMAINS CLOSE. 19 HOMES HAVE BEEN EVACUATED. SOME VEHICLES ARE ON THE BELOW ROUTE LEVEL. OFFICIALS HAVE SUSPENDED WORD -- WORK FOR THE NIGHT. CLASSES AT MARGARET BRENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAVE BEEN CANCELED. KAI REED BEGINS OUR TEAM COVERAGE FROM THE SCENE. CREWS HAVE SECURED THE AREA. THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE RAIN TO COMPLETELY MOVED OUT OF THE FORECAST BEFORE THEY CAN GET DOWN ON THE TRACKS AND START THE CLEANUP PROCESS. RIGHT NOW THEY ARE NOT SURE HOW MANY CARS ARE DOWN THERE. TWO ARE UP BRIGHT. HOPEFULLY CAN SEE OVER MY SHOULDER. THEY DON'T ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO MOVE THE CARS UNTIL TOMORROW. ONE SECOND THE CAR IS THERE, THE NEXT IT ROLLS OUT OF THE EMBANKMENT. IT IS CRAZY TO SEE. NOT TOO OFTEN YOU SEE CARS FALLING THROUGH THE AIR. LIKES IT IS SCARED. -- IT IS VERY SCARY. LIKES THE CALLS CAME IN AROUND 3:45. WITNESSES DESCRIBED THE BOOM THAT SOUNDED LIKE THUNDER AND A HUGE CLOUD OF SMOKE. WE ARE BLESSED WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE STREETS AND NOT A LOSS OF LIFE. HOMES WERE EVACUATED AS INSPECTORS CHECKED THE INTEGRITY OF THE STRUCTURES AND TRIED TO SAVE THE CARS THAT WERE UPRIGHT. EVEN MORE WENT IN. HOURS LATER CREWS SLOWLY MOVED ONE OF THE CARS OFF THE BRINK. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE CERTAIN WE DON'T KEEP EVERYONE OUT OF IT. IT IS A METHODICAL APPROACH. WE GOT AWAY , IT IS A LONG PROCESS. THE TRAIN TREKS CARRY TRAFFIC UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST. FOR NOW ALL TRAFFIC HAS BEEN HALTED. RESIDENTS GOT SOME BELONGINGS OUT BUT WERE PLACED IN ALTERNATIVE HOUSING. WE HAVE GONE FROM HAVING A DREADFUL WEATHER, FROM HAVING A RAINY SEASON THAT IS ALSO IMPACTING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AS WE CAN SEE FROM THIS. YOU CAN SEE THE CREWS OUT HERE FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT AGENCIES. DOT, CSX, BGE. BGE HAS BEEN MONITORING THE SITUATION. THE GAS HAS BEEN TURNED OFF TO THE HOMES. ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN. THEY WILL MONITOR TO DETERMINE WHEN THE GROUND IS SAFE AND STABLE ENOUGH FOR WORK TO CONTINUE. THEY EXPECT TO START WORK AT 5:00 TOMORROW MORNING. REPORTING LIVE, KAI REED. THANK YOU. THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF INJURIES. SOME RESIDENTS WERE FORCED TO EVACUATE. WHILE SHOCKING SOME OF US, SO WE SPOKE WITH SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT SURPRISED SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN. WE CONTINUE TEAM COVERAGE TONIGHT. A LOT OF RESIDENTS WERE AT WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND FOUND OUT THROUGH PHONE CALLS FROM FAMILY OR FRIENDS OR NEIGHBORS. MANY SAY THEY ARE NOT SURPRISED THAT THIS HAPPENED. I AM OVERWHELMED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M GOING TO GET BACK TO MY HOUSE. I HAVE ANIMALS. I CAN'T FIND MY HUSBAND. IT IS RAINING. HE WAKES CONFUSION AND FRUSTRATION IN CHARLES VILLAGE. CHERYL CAME HOME TO THIS. IT TOOK MULTIPLE CARS. SHARON THOUGHT HER HUSBAND'S CAR MIGHT BE ONE OF THEM. LIKES THINGS FELL IN MY ROOM. WHEN I CAME OUT, ALL THE CARS WERE DOWN. THE CARS KEPT FALLING. ALL THE RUBBLE JUST DOWN THERE. EMERGENCY CREWS QUICKLY BROKE THE AREAS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT. I WAS WALKING ON THAT SIDEWALK. ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. XD THE SCENE A SHOCKING. MANY RESIDENTS SAY THEY ARE NOT SURPRISED. THEY SAY THEY HAVE KNOWN THE ROAD HAS HAD TROUBLES FOR YEARS. WE DID A STORY CHRONICLING THE HISTORY OF THE ROAD BACK IN 1998. WE WERE EXPECTING THIS FOR A LONG TIME. IT WASHES AWAY AND GETS ANOTHER CRACK IN IT IN SIX MONTHS. THIS HILL HAS BEEN SLIDING FOR DECADES. LIKES IT WAS EXPECTED. WE WERE PORTED THIS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. THEY HAVE PATCHED IT. WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING IT. ONE BRIGHT SPOT IN THE NIGHT, SHE FOUND HER HUSBAND'S CAR ON ANOTHER STREET. NOW I HAVE TO FIND MY POOR HUSBAND. FIRE OFFICIALS AREN'T SURE WHEN RESIDENTS WILL BE ALLOWED BACK IN THEIR HOMES.
